Risks and Contingencies The IR receivers are sensitive to sunlight, so too much sunlight in our demo space on Monday may cause the cars to receive false hits. We are going to cover the sides of the IR LEDs on
Team Status Report: Week 10
Risks and Contingencies Latency of the video stream and control spikes frequently when there are many people connected to the router. A possible solution would be to use our own router for a network with only our devices connected, but
Team Status Report: Week 9
Risks and Contingencies No new risks were identified this week Changes to Design The game now requires user to slow down when passing over gates. We realize that this isn’t the best feature, but it seems to be the only

Risks and Contingencies The RFID latency is an issue we must solve. We are looking into either improving the size of our tags or finding a higher performance RFID reader. Shakiness of the camera feed is an issue. We are
Team Status Report: Week 6
Risks and Contingencies The RFID latency is still an issue, but it is something we have decided to address to after the midpoint demo on Wednesday. Latency on the video doesn’t seem to be optimizable at all. With basic Vuforia,
Team Status Report: Week 5
Risks and Contingencies Realized that the RFID scanner we got may not be fast enough. Might not have enough GPIO pins on the rpi to be able to do everything we want to do. As a possible solution, we can
Team Status Report: Week 4
Risks and Contingencies No new risks were identified this week. Camera stabilization and latency still remain our biggest risk factors and challenges. Changes to Design No major design changes were made this week. Schedule Update A little behind on our

Risks and Contingencies No new risks were identified this week. Camera stabilization and latency still remain our biggest risk factors and challenges. Changes to Design No design changes were made this week. Schedule Update No immediate schedule changes have occurred,
Team Status Report: Week 2
Risks and Contingencies Identified that camera stabilization will be a significant issue for our project. We decided to add both hardware and software counter-measures to the project in order to mitigate this hazard with a stabilization rig using rubber bands
